Brooklyn, New York, 22 augustus 1972. Net voor de middagsluiting overvallen Sonny en Sal een bank. Langer dan tien minuten mocht de overval niet duren, maar er zit niet genoeg geld in de kluis en de politie staat sneller voor de deur dan voorzien zodat de gangsters met hun gijzelaars ingesloten zitten.
Nee, helaas is Dog Day Afternoon nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
